- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
It struck me as being a bit odd that Mary is one month away from the end of a diploma course in photography, and the only name she knows is Ansel Adams. She really needs help. Despite my best efforts to re-educate her, even our cat has heard of Ansel Adams, and every year she gives me a bloody Ansel Adams calendar for Christmas. He's fully commodified.
As I've already asked in your other thread: Who are the photographers, well-known or not, with whom you feel an affinity?
OK, some more words to Google:
Raymond Moore, Victor Burgin, John Hilliard, John Baldessari, Laura McPhee, Joel Sternfield, New Topographics, Robert Adams, Paul Hill, Thomas Joshua Cooper, Jem Southam, Hamish Fulton, Richard Long, Andy Goldsworthy, Robert Polidori, Candida Hofer, Lewis Balz, Ten.8, Alec Soth, Struan Gray, Aperture magazine, Creative Camera magazine, Bernd and Hilla Becher, Dusseldorf school, Peter Fraser, John X Berger, Gregory Crewdson, Tim Atherton, Richard Misrach, Adam Bartos, Esko Mannikko, Wolfgang Tillmans, Lawrence Beck, Barbara Bosworth, Katy Grannan, Wijnanda Deroo, Sze Tsung Leong...
Some galleries etc to Google for contemporary and historical work:
Charles Isaacs
Robert Mann
Sonnabend
Luisotti
Pace/MacGill
Fraenkel
Yancey Richardson
Yossi Milo
I hope that I have managed to spell all those names correctly so that you can Google them easily. My apologies for any misspelt words.
Look at rob91's work here, and make your own mind up (I know that you will).
Good luck,
Helen
Postscript
The cat and I discussed this over breakfast. She had chicken, I had bacon and eggs. She suggested that you do a shameless ripoff of Janet Malcolm's article Pink Roses. It's about Andrew Bush's excellent photos of Bonnettstown Hall near Kilkenny. It mentions Vermeer, Degas, Cartier-Bresson and Kertesz, so there's your high class historical connection. Part of the article is about how looking at older art, in a broad sense, educates one's gaze. It includes a sentence made from the purest gold:
"It has become increasingly clear, as more and more art photographs are thrust into the world, that the average art photograph is an exercise in futility, and that unless one is sublimely gifted one would do better to take snapshots, which are unfailingly interesting."
